With more than 150 customer installations worldwide, the Océ VarioStream 7000 digital continuous feed printing system has already established itself on the market.

The high-performance printers are in continuous and reliable use at companies in all market segments including banks, insurance and telecommunication companies, mailers and the graphic arts industry.

Océ is now introducing the second development stage of the VarioStream 7000, which provides even more performance at maximum quality owing to the 'Enhanced Print Quality Option'. The new, patented technology for toner transfer achieves a new standard in printing quality. This highest standard of printing quality is now also available at high speeds.

Whilst maximum productivity at the highest quality level was previously around 700 A4 pages per minute, the second generation VarioStream now manages 1000 pages in the same time, increasing productivity by nearly one and a half times. Océ customers - particularly those in the graphics arts industry - can now profit from the Enhanced Print Quality Option. The customer-friendly upgrading concept means that each VarioStream can be upgraded in the field.

The Océ Vario product family

The Océ Vario product series unifies on one platform the capabilities of the successful Pagestream (transaction printing) and Demandstream (PoD) families. A particular feature of the VarioStream 7000 series is its unique flexibility. If the printing volume increases, upgrading is possible at the customer site. In addition, different applications, eg black/white, colour or even MICR can be printed on the same machine without any lengthy conversion times.
